Abstract

Agricultural development has still had significant roles on economic development in Indonesia. Rice farming is addressed to increase the productivity and quality of product by using improved agricultural practices including irrigation water management. In Bali province (Indonesia), the existence of subak as traditional irrigation system with socio-agrarian-religious in nature, could be a one of the local cultural institutions for supporting government in the food security program. The main functions of subak are distributing and allocating irrigation water among the subak’s members and between or among the subaks which are getting water from the separated dams on a similar river. These functions are supported by the implementation of internal by-laws own by each subak governing the mechanism of planting schedule, cropping patterns, water borrowing, including ritual ceremonies conducted in the relation to phases of rice planting. Subak system as social capital, therefore, could ensure the availability of irrigation water over the year. Thus, the rice farming development programmed by government could be achived by the effective subak system.

Abstract

Plastics serve important functions in people's daily lives, but they often become waste, polluting the environment and posing a hazard if not managed properly. It's crucial to reduce the use of single-use plastics, recycle recyclable plastics, and choose more environmentally friendly alternatives to mitigate the negative impact on nature and health. This study aims to describe the principles of plastic waste management, the government policy framework, and the role of the government and stakeholders in waste management in Bali. The vast amount of plastic waste in Bali is a serious problem that must be addressed, as the increasing number of residents and visitors or tourists use plastic items in various activities. Plastic waste management is based on five principles: refuse, reduce, reuse, recover, and recycle. Three main pillars are needed in the policy and regulatory framework for plastic waste management in Indonesia, including in Bali Province: a primary legal basis, waste reduction policies, and waste management policies. The increased role of the government and various stakeholders, including universities, the private sector and industry, universities, environmental communities, villagers, and the media, in addressing the plastic waste problem in Bali will support the government in realizing a clean Bali. An integrated strategy is needed to comprehensively address plastic waste, encompassing interventions from upstream (producers) to downstream (processing), and involving three main pillars: policy, infrastructure, and stakeholder behavioural change.
